Hi all, First of all thanks to all the people who helped in the first place (I am grateful). The problem was resolved and was due to some problem with the home grown framework we were using with the application.
Tomcat had nothing to do with the problem and content type is the only thing required to make it work. As far as the database persistence was concerned, oracle did no mistake in storing the data but when our framework was persisting the values, it somehow corrupted the data somewhere in the middle of submitting the page with non-english characters and writing to the database. We found this problem by simply writing a simple jsp page without using the framework and rendered some non-english characters successfully. Thanks again, Arnab -----Original Message----- From: Arnab Chakravarty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2004 4:08 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: UTF-8 Encoding in Jsp Hi, Thanks for the reply but it did not work. May be I didn't explain the problem correctly. I am running an application that supports all the languages but only in some specific places of the application and I have made those places UTF-8 complaint. Further, they are being saved to Database (Oracle 9). When we are reading the data back from the database, junk characters are displayed on the screen. Yes, the database is set to support UTF-8 Encoding and this is working with the old version of tomcat 3.3 and not with current upgraded version of tomcat 5.0 There are also places in the application where drop downs contain some different language support and we can see those charsets (Japanese, Chinese etc) appearing. Only, when I try to display on the screen through the jsp file, I am encountering this problem of junk characters begin displayed. Hope I have set more context around the problem. Please help me resolve this issue.
